[Cooker] What happened to network.img, network_drivers.img, pcmcia.img?

MandrivaLinux/devel/cooker/<arch>/INSTALL.txt lists three floppy images:
hd_grub.img, network.img (which requires network_drivers.img), and
pcmcia.img. All I can find is hd_grub.img. Same for 2008.1, 2008.0, 2007.1.
2007.0 is the last time they show up. Maybe about time the documentation was
updated?

Do the images for 2008.1 exist anywhere? I have a case where the DVD drive
isn't recognized so I can't use boot.iso.

Thanks,
Arn

Yes.

No. They can't be built to fit on a floppy any more, so they were
dropped.

You can try hd_grub.img , or - probably easier - use all.img on a USB
stick.

I appreciate the suggestions. Much to my surprise, boot.iso worked where the
i586 DVD didn't.

Thanks,
